S. and Engl. of, off; Hel. ab; Germ. ab; Gr. άπό; Lat. a, ab.] With dat. denoting a motion a loco; one of the three prepp. af, ór, frá, corresponding to those in locoá, í, við, and ad locumá, í, at. It in general corresponds to the prepp. in locoá, or in locum til, whilst ór answers more to í; but it also frequently corresponds to yfir, um or í. It ranges between ór and frá, generally denoting the idea from the surface of, while ór means from the inner part, and frá from the outer part or border. The motion from a hill, plain, open place is thus denoted by af; by ór that from an enclosed space, depth, cavity, thus af fjalli, but ór of a valley, dale; af Englandi, but ór Danmörk, as mörk implies the notion of a deep wood, forest. The wind blows af landi, but a ship sets sail frá landi; frá landi also means a distance from: af hendi, of a glove, ring; ór hendi, of whatever has been kept in the hand (correl. to á hendi and í hendi). On the other hand af is more general, whilst frá and ór are of a more special character; frá denoting a departure, ór an impulse or force; a member goes home af þingi, whereas ór may denote an inmate of a district, or convey the notion of secession or exclusion from, Eb. 105 new Ed.; the traveller goes af landi, the exile ór landi: taka e-t af e-m is to take a thing out of one’s hand, that of taka frá e-m to remove out of one’s sight, etc. In general af answers to Engl. of, off, ór to out of, and frá to from: the Lat. prepp. ab, de, and ex do not exactly correspond to the Icelandic, yet as a rule ór may answer to ex, af sometimes to ab, sometimes to de. Of, off, from among; with, by; on account of by means of, because of concerning, in respect of.

    2. the preposition may sometimes be repeated, once elliptically or adverbially, and once properly, e. g. en er af var borit at borðinu, the cloth was taken off from the table, Nj. 176; Guð þerrir af (off, away) hvert tár af ( from) augum heilagra manna, God wipes off every tear from the eyes of his saints, 655 xx. vii. 17; skal þó fyrst bætr af lúka af fé vegaiula, pay off, from, Gþl. 160, the last af may be omitted—var þá af borið borðinu—and the prep. thus be separated from its case, or it may refer to some of the indecl. relatives er or sem, the prep. hvar, hér, þar being placed behind them without a case, and referring to the preceding relative, e. g. oss er þar mikit af sagt auð þeim, we have been told much about these riches, Band. 24; er þat skjótast þar af at segja, in short, shortly. Eg. 546; þaðan af veit ek, thence í infer, know, Fms. i. 97.
    XI. it is moreover connected with a great many verbs besides those mentioned above, e. g. bera af, to excel, whence afbragð, afbrigði; draga af, to detract, deduct, hence afdráttr; veita ekki af, to be hard with; ganga at, to be left, hence afgangr; standast af um e-t, to stand, how matters stand; sem af tekr, at a furious rate; vita af, to be conscious, know about (vide VII).
    D. As a prefix to compounds distinction is to be made between:
    I. af privativum, denoting diminution, want, deduction, loss, separation, negation of, etc., answering indifferently to Lat. ab-, de-, ex-, dis-, and rarely to re- and se-, v. the following COMPDS, such as segja, dicere, but afsegja, negare; rækja, colere, but afrækja, negligere; aflaga, contra legem; skapligr, normalis, afskapligr, deformis; afvik, recessus; afhús, afhellir, afdalr, etc.
    II. af intensivum, etymologically different, and akin to of, afr-, e. g. afdrykkja = ofdrykkja, inebrietas; afbrýði, jealously; afbendi, tenesmus; afglapi, vir fatuus, etc. etc. Both the privative and the intensive af may be contracted into á, esp. before a labial f, m, v, e. g. á fram = af fram; ábrýði = afbrýði; ávöxtr = afvöxtr; áburðr = afburðr; ávíta = afvíta (?). In some cases dubious. With extenuated and changed vowel; auvirðiligr or övirðiligr, depreciated, = afv- etc., v. those words.

  • 46 Fourdrinier, Henry

    SUBJECT AREA: Paper and printing
    [br]
    b. 11 February 1766 London, England
    d. 3 September 1854 Mavesyn Ridware, near Rugeley, Staffordshire, England
    [br]
    English pioneer of the papermaking machine.
    [br]
    Fourdrinier's father was a paper manufacturer and stationer of London, from a family of French Protestant origin. Henry took up the same trade and, with his brother Sealy (d. 1847), devoted many years to developing the papermaking machine. Their first patent was taken out in 1801, but success was still far off. A machine for making paper had been invented a few years previously by Nicolas Robert at the Didot's mill at Essonnes, south of Paris. Robert quarrelled with the Didots, who then contacted their brother-in-law in England, John Gamble, in an attempt to raise capital for a larger machine. Gamble and the Fourdriniers called in the engineer Bryan Donkin, and between them they patented a much improved machine in 1807. In the new machine, the paper pulp flowed on to a moving continuous woven wire screen and was then squeezed between rollers to remove much of the water. The paper thus formed was transferred to a felt blanket and passed through a second press to remove more water, before being wound while still wet on to a drum. For the first time, a continuous sheet of paper could be made. Other inventors soon made further improvements: in 1817 John Dickinson obtained a patent for sizing baths to improve the surface of the paper; while in 1820 Thomas Crompton patented a steam-heated drum round which the paper was passed to speed up the drying process. The development cost of £60,000 bankrupted the brothers. Although Parliament extended the patent for fourteen years, and the machine was widely adopted, they never reaped much profit from it. Tsar Alexander of Russia became interested in the papermaking machine while on a visit to England in 1814 and promised Henry Fourdrinier £700 per year for ten years for super-intending the erection of two machines in Russia; Henry carried out the work, but he received no payment. At the age of 72 he travelled to St Petersburg to seek recompense from the Tsar's successor Nicholas I, but to no avail. Eventually, on a motion in the House of Commons, the British Government awarded Fourdrinier a payment of £7,000. The paper trade, sensing the inadequacy of this sum, augmented it with a further sum which they subscribed so that an annuity could be purchased for Henry, then the only surviving brother, and his two daughters, to enable them to live in modest comfort. From its invention in ancient China (see Cai Lun), its appearance in the Middle Ages in Europe and through the first three and a half centuries of printing, every sheet of paper had to made by hand. The daily output of a hand-made paper mill was only 60–100 lb (27–45 kg), whereas the new machine increased that tenfold. Even higher speeds were achieved, with corresponding reductions in cost; the old mills could not possibly have kept pace with the new mechanical printing presses. The Fourdrinier machine was thus an essential element in the technological developments that brought about the revolution in the production of reading matter of all kinds during the nineteenth century. The high-speed, giant paper-making machines of the late twentieth century work on the same principle as the Fourdrinier of 1807.

  • 59 Cordite

    An explosive substance prepared from; 8 per cent nitro-glycerme, 57 per cent gun-cotton, and 5 per cent vaseline. At one stage the mixture is doughy, and is squeezed through a die as a cord that may be wound on a reel, or cut up into pieces, according to thickness, which may vary from 0.1-in. to 0.5-in. This substance can be burnt without doing damage and needs detonating to explode.

  • 60 στέμβω

    Grammatical information: v.
    Meaning: = κινῶ συνεχῶς (EM), `to shake ceaselessly' (A. Fr. 440 = 635 M., also EM a.o. as explanation of ἀστεμφής), `to abuse, to vilify' (Eust.).
    Derivatives: Beside it without nasal: στόβος λοιδορία, ὄνειδος (Lyc., H.), στοβ-άζειν κακολογεῖν. - ασμάτων λοιδοριῶν H., ( ἐπι-)στοβέω `to mock, to taunt' (A. R., Epic. anon., EM). -- With aspirata: ἀστεμφής = ἀμετακίνητος (H.), `unshakable, firm' (ep. Il.). On στέμφῠλα n. pl. `squeezed olives or grapes, olive-, grape-mass' (IA.) s.v. -- With o-ablaut: στόμφ-ος m. `bombastic, high-flown speech' (Longin.), -ᾱξ, -ᾱκος m. `bombastic speaker, loudmouth' (Ar. Nu. 1367; from Aesch.), - άζω `to speak bombastically, to talk big' (Ar. a.o.) with - ασμός, - αστικός (Eust.); - όω `id.' (Phld.), - ώδης, - ός (sch.). Beside it στόμβος =- βαρύηχος, βαρύφθογγος (Hp. ap. Gal.).
    Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (V)
    Etymology: To the varying form of the above words (see Schwyzer 333 a. 692) correpond an as varying content. For στέμβω a meaning `push violently, shake caeselessly' is fitting, also for ἀστεμ-φής `unshakeable' (diff., hardly correct, s. v.). From there `maltreat, revile, ridicule' in στέμβω, - άζω, στόβος, - έω? Unclear remain thus στόμφος, - αξ etc. -- An attractive connection seems possile with the Germ. deverbative OHG stampfōn, MLD stampen, OSw. stampa etc. ' stampfen, smash' with OHG stampf m. `instrument with which to struck etc.', PGm. * stamp- (IE * stomb-); s. WP. 2, 623f., Pok. 1011 ff., also W.-Hofmann s. temnō (to be kept away), but cf. on στέφω. -- The forms without nasalization show that the word is Pre-Greek (not in Furnée); further note the variation στόμφος - στόμβος.
